Description
Schaltungsanordnung zum Betrieb wenigstens einer LeuchtdiodeCircuit arrangement for operating at least one light-emitting diode
als Fahrzeug-Rücklicht Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltungsanordnung zum Betrieb wenigstens einer Leuchtdiode als Fahrzeug-, insbesondere Fahrrad-Rücklicht.as a vehicle rear light The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating at least one light-emitting diode as a vehicle, in particular bicycle rear light.
Die derzeit erreichte Helligkeit der roten Leucht- oder Lumineszenzdioden ermöglicht deren Einsatz als Rücklichter für Fahrräder, Krafträder und allgemein Fahrzeuge.The currently achieved brightness of the red light emitting diodes or luminescent diodes enables their use as taillights for bicycles, motorcycles and in general Vehicles.
Der Anschluß einer Leuchtdiode über einen Vorwiderstand an die Stromquelle, insbesondere einen Fahrrad-Dynamo, ist ungünstig, da im Vorwiderstand Rv der größte Teil der Energie als Verlustleistung verbraucht wird. Diese Verlustleistung ist bei einem Fahrrad größer als 2,0 W. Wegen der notwendigen Lichtstärke ist eine Stromstärke von etwa 400 mA und damit ein bezüglich der Leistung verhältnismäßig großer Vorwiderstand erforderlich. Außerdem ist bei ausreichepder Lichtstärke ein Fahrrad-Dynamo nicht in der Lage, überhaupt die erforderliche Energie zu liefern.The connection of a light emitting diode via a series resistor to the power source, especially a bicycle dynamo, is unfavorable because the series resistor Rv is the largest Part of the energy is consumed as power loss. This power dissipation is on a bicycle greater than 2.0 W. Because of the necessary light intensity, an amperage is of about 400 mA and thus a relatively large series resistor in terms of power necessary. In addition, if the light intensity is sufficient, a bicycle dynamo is not able to deliver the required energy at all.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schaltungsanordnung anzugeben, die einen Betrieb wenigstens einer Leuchtdiode als Fahrzeug-Rücklicht mit möglichst geringer Verlustleistung ermöglicht.It is therefore the object of the invention to specify a circuit arrangement, the one operation of at least one light emitting diode as a vehicle rear light with possible low power dissipation.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Leuchtdiode antiparallel zu einer weiteren Diode liegt, und daß die Parallelschaltung aus der Leuchtdiode und der weiteren Diode über einen Vorwiderstand mit der Stromquelle verbunden ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the light-emitting diode is antiparallel to another diode, and that the parallel connection from the Light-emitting diode and the further diode via a series resistor with the power source connected is.
Es ist vorteilhaft, daß die weitere Diode eine Leuchtdiode ist.It is advantageous that the further diode is a light-emitting diode.
Dadurch wird eine Steigerung der Licht stärke erzielt.This increases the light intensity.
Schließlich besteht noch eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung darin, daß der Vorwiderstand der Glühdraht einer Lampe ist. Dadurch kann der Vorwiderstand zum Beispiel aus dem Glühdraht der Vorderlampe eines Fahrrades bestehen.Finally, there is another development of the invention that the series resistor is the filament of a lamp. This allows the series resistor consist for example of the filament of the front lamp of a bicycle.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung an Hand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, und Fig. 2 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 2 shows a second Embodiment of the invention.
Ein Fahrrad-Dynamo G betreibt beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 zwei antiparallel geschaltete Leuchtdioden LED. In Reihe zu dieser Antiparallelschaltung liegt als Vorwiderstand Rv das Glühlämpchen der vorderen Beleuchtung des Fahrrades.A bicycle dynamo G operates in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 two anti-parallel connected light-emitting diodes LED. In series with this anti-parallel connection The light bulb of the front lighting of the bicycle is located as a series resistor Rv.
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 ist eine der antiparallel geschalteten Leuchtdioden LED durch eine antiparallel geschaltete Siliciumdiode D ersetzt. Das Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 ist etwas lichtschwächer, aber dafür weniger aufwendig, da hier die Antiparallelschaltung auf einem gemeinsamen Kühlblech realisierbar ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Reihenschaltung mit dem Vorwiderstand Rv ist neben der Vermeidung unnötiger Verlustleistung die nichtlineare Kennlinie der in Reihe geschalteten Glühlampe, wogegen eine LED bekanntlich eine lineare Kennlinie hat. Hierdurch wird auch bei langsamer Fahrt des Fahrrades eine relativ große Lichtstärke erzeugt, ohne daß bei großer Geschwindigkeit das Bauelement überlastet wird. Durch die Reihenschaltung wird auch eine einfache Kontrolle des Rücklichtes ausgeübt.In the embodiment of FIG. 2, one of the anti-parallel connected Light-emitting diodes LED replaced by a silicon diode D connected in anti-parallel. That The embodiment of Fig. 2 is somewhat weaker, but less expensive, because here the anti-parallel connection can be realized on a common cooling plate. Another advantage of the series connection with the series resistor Rv is in addition to the Avoid unnecessary power loss the non-linear characteristic of the series-connected Incandescent lamp, whereas an LED is known to have a linear characteristic. This will generated a relatively high light intensity even when the bicycle is driving slowly, without that at high speed the component is overloaded. Through the series connection a simple control of the rear light is also carried out.
Vorzugsweise werden die Leuchtdioden als Einheit vergossen und mit einem klaren Fenster aus einem nicht eingefärbten Kunststoff versehen, umgeben vom übrigen rotgefärbten Kunststoff eines Rücklichtes. Die Einheit selbst wird vom Fahrzeugrahmen isoliert, was auf einfache Weise durchzuführen ist.The light-emitting diodes are preferably cast as a unit and with a clear window made of a non-colored plastic, surrounded by the remaining red-colored plastic of a taillight. The unit itself is from the vehicle frame isolates what is easy to do.
